We were pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to get to the zoo. The tram takes you right to the zoo entrance. Entry to zoo 17€ per person. It is billed as the best zoo in Europe and I have to say that it...More

Really a surprise for such a small city, but this one of the best zoos I have ever seen. Very clean, excellent presentation and large enclosures. Interesting choice of animals. The "Darwineum" (large apes and some special animals related to evolution) is world-class.

It was a decent amount to get in and was very quiet which is good. There wasn't a lot of animals in their enclosures though, not sure where they were. No crocodile or hippos. The new enclosure for polar bears is being built but it...More
